Sylvia Plath’s “human” quote for the modern age (NYTimes) In the scramble for humans to keep up with the modern age, particularly the AI accelerations (every week good and bad news), I love this quote from Sylvia Plath, via Melissa Kirsch, of the Good List from NYTimes.

Boosting Provider Engagement and EHR Satisfaction with an Incentive-Based Training Program "Inova’s incentive program led to nearly 90% of eligible providers completing at least four hours of ongoing training, leading to higher EHR Experience scores."

Inova embedded Epic training into physician incentive comp: 4 hrs/year, carrot not stick. Result: 90% participation, 55% jump in Net EHR Experience scores. Turns out framing and autonomy beat mandates. Who knew? #MedSky

Are you agentic enough? (wired.com) “I think it's cringy to refer to yourself or someone else as agentic. But that doesn't mean those are not, in fact, good qualities to look for and cultivate,” said Rechtman. “It sort of reveals a worldview that you genuinely, unironically believe there are two kinds of people in the world: the NPCs and the main characters, and you’re one of the main characters.” --Yoni Rechtman

THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. Thanks Brittany for explaining this so clearly. So well said. ‘Taste’ per Jensen Huang is everything a clinical informaticist has been doing for a loooonnng time.

5 questions clinicians should ask themselves when using AI in healthcare (JAMIA.org) I like that smart colleagues are starting to write about automation bias, interruptions, skill decline. This academic paper poses 5 questions we should all be asking ourselves. So begins our hard work to welcome a new entity into the exam room, with careful forethought.

The math on AI agents doesn’t add up (Wired.com) I wish we had a crystal ball for what is coming. If we thought that the acceleration from internet-generations and rapid change was uncomfortable, what do we call this, the generative-AI-powered generational change? Hyper-change? Articles like this are fascinating glimpses behind the scenes at AI companies thinking ahead to AI agents and what they might be doing now, and able to do in a few weeks or months.

Medicine: the last uncompressed profession? (Liminal MD) Bryan Vartabedian calls out the idea of "compression" where standard process and measurement have transformed many professions. Yet, medical care at its root is a sick patient that may not fit easily into a measurable box. Healthcare as a profession cannot be compressed. A must read.

iPhone notes app is the purest reflection of our humanity (Wired.com) and a medical informatics observation What’s on your notes app in your phone? WIRED argues that this simple, unfiltered blank page is the easiest place for us to store our unfiltered thoughts. How true. For me: fragments of blog post ideas, books I hear about, movies to watch, hilarious quote from family members, messy to-do lists. Hotel room numbers. Parking garage locations. Who knows? What’s on yours?
